To tlio;ordi»ary risks of Bca travel the perils of steaming at night with lightß out are now added. "Shipping" notes the increasing number of collisions due to this cause, end; several cases.' involving novel points as to accidents caused in this way are- now before the Courts. * ■ * A slight outbreak of fire occurred on board Messrs. Richardson and Co.'s oildriven vessel Kiritona at Napier laet week. The engineer waa making some repairs in the engine-room, where some benzine wns stored for use in the ship's engines, and by some- means this caught alight. The Port Fire Brigade subdued tho outbreak before any damage was done to the vessel. Captain 0. A. Hansen, of the Norwegian Etoaniship- Thor, .which ..foundered ■ on November .18, 1917. about 900 miles north of Honolulu, and 12'eeumon of the wrecked vessel have arrived at San Fraucisco. Tho skipper and the sailors.were picked up the day after the Thor foundered and Taken to Japan by the Japanese 'Bteamship Tsuyama .Maru. Mate Anderson and lo' members of-the crew were picked up by a Japanese sampan.after a harrowing experience of exposure in an open boat lor 13 days.. The Thor's deck plates began to roll tip on the day before she wae abandoned, and rail 6 were strapped down to strengthen tho deck where the buckling, was going on, but failed of their purpose. The. cargo was jettisoned,. hut the vessel suddenly .listed to port, and the , captain ordered .all bauds to the lifeboats. Australian crcwa are to man the Commonwealth vessels now building in America. It was stated'recently that.the Federal Government had agreed to the request of the executive of the Seamen's Union that members of the Australian Seamen's Union should be employed on the vessels. The secretary-'• of-the Merchant Service Guild said recently that his request to the l'rirno Minister that Australian captaiaT and. officers 'should h»" appointed to : Commonwealth, ships had been assented to, and whenever suitable men, were obtainable in Australia they would be. given preference. .
